Featuring first-person POVs, emotional depth, and rising intimacy.

[Joshua – POV]
I don't usually feel nervous. Not when battling, not when facing danger. But when Mewtwo leans over me—eyes glowing, skin like smooth glass—I feel it. Heat. Tension. Desire.
She's otherworldly, impossibly powerful… but tonight, she's soft. Touching my jaw like she's afraid to shatter me.
"I need to feel you," she whispers.
God.
My Aura pulses, reacting to hers. There's electricity in the air, like two storms pulling toward each other. I look past her for a second—Misty's watching. Jealous? Curious? Both?
I want them both. That scares me. Not because I'm afraid I'll hurt them, but because I know I won't be able to stop once I start.

[Mewtwo – POV]
His Aura is intoxicating—steady, deep, like the roots of a mountain. I want to merge with it, understand it, wrap myself around it.
Misty is watching. That doesn't matter. She can join if she dares. He's mine first.
I lean down, lips ghosting his neck. He shivers. Good.
I whisper into his ear. "You've awakened me, Joshua. Now I will awaken you."

[Ash – POV]
Mew's sitting on my lap now. I don't know how it escalated from "you're cute" to this, but she's glowing—and I'm burning.
She's not wearing anything but that playful smile, and her skin is warm against mine. Every time she shifts her hips, I lose another ounce of self-control.
Then Serena walks in and shuts the door behind her.
She's not angry. She's focused. She walks straight to me and presses her lips to mine—hotter than fire.
"You're not going to forget about me," she growls.
"I wasn't trying to—"
"I'm not asking."

[Mew – POV]
He smells like stormy skies and earth. His Aura… spicy. I could purr forever in it.
Serena's possessive, but I like that. I want to tease her, push her. Maybe she'll break and reveal what she craves.
Ash is trying so hard to be a gentleman. Sweet. Noble. But he doesn't realize—tonight, he's not the one in control.
We are.

[Serena – POV]
She thinks she has him wrapped around her tail. She might—but I know Ash. When he really feels something, he gives all of it.
And I'm going to make sure I'm the one who earns that fire.
I kneel in front of him, fingers sliding under his shirt.
"You've always been strong, Ash. Let me show you how strong I can be too."

[Misty – POV]
Watching Mewtwo lean into Joshua is driving me insane. I want to rip her away… but also…
Damn it.
She's so confident. So sleek. And Joshua? He wants her—but I can tell. He's holding back. For me.
I bite my lip and step forward, tugging off my hoodie. "Don't forget, you saved me too, Joshua. I'm not just going to watch anymore."
His eyes darken. Mewtwo steps aside slightly—inviting me in.
Okay then. Let's see if he can handle both of us.

Scene fades to black here, leading to an implied (but not overly graphic) scene of sensual intimacy and emotional connection, blending Aura, romance, and primal chemistry. Their bonds deepen, bodies and souls touching.
The night is filled with heat, heartbeats, whispered names, and the crackling of Aura intertwining like wild energy.

Morning After – The Calm Before the Next Storm
Ash wakes first, shirt half off, Mew curled against his chest, Serena sleeping on the other side with her hand over his heart. He smiles, brushing hair from her face.
Joshua stands on the balcony, bare chest glowing faintly with lingering Aura. Misty's arms are around his waist, and Mewtwo floats behind them, eyes closed in quiet satisfaction.
The group's not just a team now.
They're connected.
And whatever comes next—they'll face it together.
